Youth care in time of COVID-19: Experiences of professionals and adolescent clients with telehealth.

Measures aimed at preventing the COVID-19 virus from spreading restricted all aspects of public life, including possibilities for meeting in-person. Youth care professionals were forced to turn to telehealth tools, such as video calling and e-health methods, to be able to continue support and treatment of children, adolescents, caregivers, and families. This study consists of two qualitative interview studies on the experiences with and transition to telehealth during COVID-19: (1) interviews with youth care professionals ( = 20), and (2) interviews with adolescents who used mental health care support ( = 14).
